Cheese Squash Soup

Behold the Cheese Squash. No it does not taste at all like cheese. It is named because it looks like a round of cheese. It is a large squash that tastes a lot like butternut squash. I have to thank my mother in law for this wonderful beauty. She got four in her CSA pick up and was happy to share, as always. I instantly knew I would turn it into soup. Peeling and deseeded it was a little time consuming, but completely worth it!

There are a few things I think are essential in a cooks kitchen; a good food processor, kitchen aid stand mixer and crock pot to name a few. I have now added an immersion blender to my list. I recently bought one at my local bed, bath and beyond. With my $5 coupon, it was only $25. I used it for the first time with this soup and cannot wait to use it more! The blender allows you to puree your soup right in the pot while the soup is still hot. Awesome! If you do not have an immersion blender, allow soup to cool and then puree it in batches in your blender or food processor. Add to a pot and reheat prior to serving.

About Me

The human species was once a super species, but now it is the sickest species in the world. 80% of our adult population is dying or will die from chronic disease. One of the reasons for this change is that we no longer give our bodies what they are genetically designed to need. The human body requires certain materials for the genetic expression of health. One of these materials is REAL food. My goal for this blog is to share with you real food, real recipes and real ways to make you and your family healthier by the things you put in your mouth..... and it tastes good!!
